Encountering a Fox Demon, Unexpected Gains!

"I can't believe it took me a full thirty-seven years to break through from the perfected Skin Grinding Realm to the early stage of the Muscle Forging Realm. Is my aptitude really that terrible?"

Su Xian looked at the records in the Demon Strategy, shaking his head. Thirty-seven whole years!

That's half a lifetime for many people!

To only break through from the perfected Skin Grinding Realm to the early stage of the Muscle Forging Realm!

"Good thing it's demon lifespan I'm consuming!"

Su Xian comforted himself. A young Cat Demon has over 100 years of lifespan.

As long as he kills more demons in the future, he shouldn't have to worry about lifespan!

"Another 10 years of lifespan added!"

Looking at the remaining 20 years of lifespan on the Demon Strategy, Su Xian's lips curved upwards.

"So this is the Muscle Forging Realm?"

Su Xian closed his eyes, feeling the explosive power within his body. Compared to the previous Skin Grinding Realm, his strength had nearly doubled!

His vital energy and blood had also increased significantly!

Regarding physical strength, Su Xian took out his cleaver and made a fierce cut at his right arm!

This time, there wasn't even a white mark!

Su Xian increased the force! Only when he used more than half of his strength did he manage to cut a shallow gash in his skin!

Su Xian walked to the wall, placed his hand on it, and easily inserted his fingers into the wall. With a slight exertion, he pried off a small chunk of wall dirt.

"As expected of the Muscle Forging Realm! It truly is terrifying!" Su Xian exclaimed.

"In a single day, I broke through from perfected External Arts to the early stage of the Muscle Forging Realm! Even geniuses wouldn't be able to match this speed, right?"

"I still have to thank that Cat Demon for contributing 123 years of lifespan!"

Su Xian thought to himself.

"There are 13 years of demon lifespan remaining. Should I invest it in cultivation or martial arts?"

After a moment of thought, Su Xian decided to invest the remaining 13 years of lifespan into the Tiger Subduing Demon Saber Technique.

The next instant, the results of 13 years of arduous training manifested in Su Xian.

He transformed the Rank 1 Tiger Subduing Demon Saber Technique into the Rank 2 Blazing Fire Demon Subduing Saber Technique!

Its power had reached a new level! With the enhancement of vital energy and blood, it could even ignite flames on the saber!

For demons with fur, it was practically a special attack!

Su Xian got used to his own strength at home. By evening, he prepared to head to the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School for dinner.

After all, he had paid for it, so he might as well eat. Besides, Su Xian was truly broke right now.

After filling up at the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, Su Xian was about to leave when his senior disciple brother, Cui Hao, called out to him.

"Su Xian! Let me demonstrate the Pure Yang Stance for you again. Go back and practice it well!"

After speaking, Cui Hao directly assumed the Pure Yang Stance and carefully explained it to Su Xian once more.

"After eating! This is the perfect time to practice the Pure Yang Stance! It will allow you to comprehend vital energy and blood faster!"

Cui Hao urged Su Xian to make sure he practiced it back at home!

Su Xian could only nod, assuring Cui Hao that he would practice it, and then managed to extricate himself from the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.

On his way, he passed a small alley. Seeing that no one was around, Su Xian frowned. He smelled a faint stench.

Turning to look into the alley, he saw a beautiful, tragic woman in tattered clothes, her exposed skin revealing a pitiable expression as she looked at Su Xian.

"Esteemed sir, could you perhaps help this humble woman?"

The woman spoke softly, her voice laced with a hint of seduction, her eyes full of allure.

As she beckoned, a faint fragrance wafted over.

Su Xian frowned. The moment she beckoned, he held his breath and retreated a few steps.

Su Xian glanced towards the depths of the alley, where a man's body was faintly visible, lying there.

Seeing Su Xian retreat a few steps, the woman's expression became even more pitiful:

"Esteemed sir, please do not be afraid! This humble woman means no harm!"

"The one in the alley is my husband. I am but a weak woman and would like to ask you to help me move him out!"

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

The woman's voice was delicate and charming, making one's heart flutter.

However, Su Xian grew increasingly wary, his vital energy and blood poised for action!

"Is that so?" Su Xian raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Then I shall lend you a hand!"

With that, Su Xian approached the woman step by step.

Seeing Su Xian approach, a smile began to appear on the woman's face, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

As Su Xian arrived within two steps of the woman!

"Blazing Sun Tiger Subduing Fist!"

Su Xian's accumulated qi and blood erupted. He took a step, instantly crossing the distance between them and appearing before the woman.

He threw a punch, blood-red flames igniting on his fist, bringing a scorching aura that rushed towards them!

A heavy punch landed squarely on the woman's face, instantly distorting her entire visage. The crisp sound of bone cracking echoed!

Caught off guard, the woman bore the full brunt of Su Xian's punch. Not only did her nasal bone shatter, but her head was also forced back by the immense force, slamming heavily against the nearby wall.

"You!" The woman glared at Su Xian, letting out a furious roar!

But before she could make any move, Su Xian's other fist came crashing down!

Blood-red flames blazed on his fist, distorting the surrounding air!

One punch! Another punch!

He gave the woman no chance to retaliate!

He threw dozens of punches!

Su Xian's punches shattered the woman's head, spilling her insides everywhere!

Her remaining body was scorched by the blood-red flames, emitting a faint fox odor!

[Ding! Killed a peak first-grade Fox Demon, gained 138 years of lifespan.]

Su Xian stopped his fists and looked at the woman's body, which had transformed into a headless white fox. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It really was a Fox Demon!

Good thing he struck first!

Caught completely by surprise, he instantly killed it! Otherwise, it was hard to say what would have happened!

Fox Demons had strange methods, most adept at deceiving others. Fortunately, Su Xian had been prepared and wasn't fooled!

Otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as the person in the alley, his vital energy drained to death by the Fox Demon!

Su Xian glanced at the corpse deeper in the alley. After seeing the face clearly, he was slightly stunned.

"Isn't this Song Zheng?"

Su Xian was a little taken aback. Song Zheng had tried to get Su Xian to buy his medicinal soup for three taels of silver this morning.

He hadn't expected him to die in this alley tonight.

Su Xian shook his head. It had nothing to do with him anyway. He circulated his qi and blood, burning the bloodstains on his fists to ash.

Su Xian then searched Song Zheng's body and, after finding 20 taels of silver, quickly left the area.

Not long after, another stunningly beautiful woman appeared outside the alley. Upon seeing the white fox corpse at the alley entrance, a hint of warmth and anger appeared on the woman's face!

"Who is it! Within Blackwater County! How dare you kill a member of my Fox Clan! I will never forgive you!"

The woman roared in anger!

She observed her surroundings, hoping to find any trace of the killer!

But after observing for a long time, she found no useful clues.

She looked down at the white fox's corpse, a flicker of grief in her eyes. Then, she carefully picked up the white fox's body and left.

Returning home, Su Xian smiled as he looked at the Demon Strategy, which had gained another 138 years of demon lifespan.

He hadn't expected to gain another 138 years of demon lifespan so quickly!

Now he could continue to improve his cultivation!

"Demon Strategy! Let's see what my limit is!"
